When a student at MEPS the past two days comes to your Zoom class sharing his experience, you know it’s a good day. When he shares about a Cybersafety test he took & says he did good on it because of my business classes, you know it has been a GREAT day!🙌🏻 #whyiteach@mphsctae
We don’t have a classroom management problem.
We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle.
Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into:
• de-escalating trauma
• supporting anxiety and depression
• calming panic attacks
• breaking up fights
• being cursed at, threatened, and even assaulted
• being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team
And at the same time…
we remove the very things that actually help:
• recess
• movement
• art
• play
• connection
Teachers aren’t trained for this.
And they shouldn’t have to be.
Classroom management was never meant to do all of this.
It’s about:
relationships
rules
routines
responsibility
That’s it.
It was never designed to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide.
And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools,
teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.

HISTORY: On March 3, 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional resolution making The Star-Spangled Banner the official national anthem of the United States.
Written in 1814, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was born from one of America's most desperate moments, with the British having just burned the White House and turning their assault on Baltimore, lawyer Francis Scott Key watched anxiously from an American ship through a night of heavy bombardment, and when the smoke cleared at dawn, the flag was still there, still flying over Fort McHenry, moving him to write the poem that would become America's anthem.
Today marks the 95th anniversary of it becoming America’s national anthem.
Toss the confetti, throw the streamers, and set off the fireworks because it’s my birthday! 241 years of celebrating the birthplace of public higher education ❤️🖤 Go Dawgs!
While they often go unrecognized walking around campus during the week, Hayden Couturier and Adam Buckler, UGA Spike Squad co-presidents, are a core part of game days in Sanford Stadium. As Batman and the Junkyard Villain, they hype up the crowd and help create an atmosphere that is unlike any other in college football.

Brock Bowers had 12 catches for 127 yards and 3 TDs today.
I don't want to hear anyone else say "the next Brock Bowers" ever again. There's only one.

Georgia fans — with success often comes speculation, but I want to address it directly. I have not been contacted by anyone at LSU, and more importantly, I have no interest in any other job. My full focus remains on the University of Georgia, our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and fans.
I am very fortunate to work alongside President Morehead, the Athletic Association Board, Governor Brian Kemp, and the Board of Regents, who share a deep commitment to excellence and to the success of Georgia Athletics.
This is home to me, and I’m honored to play a part in the incredible progress we’ve made together. The best days for Georgia Athletics are still ahead, and I look forward to continuing to build on the championship standard we’ve established here in Athens. Let’s go have some fun in Jacksonville! Go Dawgs!
